KIMLAI Fine Jeweller

KIMLAI Fine Jeweller was founded in 2008 by Kim Lai, a London trained veteran in the jewellery business with over 10 years experience in regional and international jewellery companies.

KIMLAI specialises in modern contemporary fine jewellery in a strong design language that is simple, elegant with sophisticated and detailed refinement.
Taking inspiration from having lived in Europe, Kim Lai fuses the contemporary cues with influences from his Asian background and experiences living and traveling through Asia.
The result is a highly recognisable personal style in jewellery pieces that go beyond design with focus on proportion, construction and the importance of quality.

KIMLAI looks for a fresh approach in design and uses innovative techniques and crafting processes, both rediscovered ancient or new.
The original pieces are all traditionally handcrafted in small series with great attention to detail and quality, lending the pieces a unique elegance. The designs are made for all moments and occasions, fashionable and with an understated sense of luxury that evokes emotion.

We craft our fine jewellery with gold and silver using a wide variety of precious and semi-precious stones. Our customer is a woman with presence and understanding of fashion who appreciates jewellery that is thoroughly modern, unique and exclusive.
A client who appreciates well made, good quality jewellery that is not particularly attention seeking but has exquisite detailing, that little secret that just you know about.

Our jewellery is sold through our shop in Central, Hong Kong, where we display all our ranges. Permanent collections are shown on this website with designs that constantly evolve. Seasonal designs are on offer in our shop.
